Over the past decade, Chile has positioned itself as one of Latin America’s renewable energy leaders. With over 35 GW of installed capacity and 57% of its power generation coming from clean sources, the country has successfully moved through the stages of potential assessment, capital attraction, and large-scale project development. However, the challenge has now evolved: the focus is no longer on how many megawatts are generated, but on how they are used. Chile is entering a new phase — one where the electrification of industry, mining, and energy-intensive sectors will be crucial in capitalising on what has already been built.

In this interview, ATESS outlines its strategic role in accelerating Chile’s energy transition through advanced energy storage and EV charging technologies. Highlighting the shortage of skilled technical personnel as a key barrier, the company explains how it addresses this by combining reliable, scalable solutions with hands-on training and strong local support. ATESS shares its learnings from the Chilean market, especially the need for customised systems adapted to diverse geographies and the importance of building trusted local partnerships. With growing potential in both commercial and utility-scale storage, and a booming e-mobility landscape, ATESS positions itself as a long-term partner committed to delivering value to investors, improving grid stability, and supporting Chile’s shift towards a cleaner, more resilient energy system.
